Pizza Tortilla Wraps – The BEST Way to Eat Pizza on the Griddle!

Share on Social!

Want to know how to cut some carbs off your favorite supreme pizza dinner? These pizza tortilla wraps are made with all of your favorite pizza toppings wrapped up in a low carb tortilla for an awesome folded tortilla pizza! Like an Italian pizza version of the crunch wrap!

If you own a griddle or flat top grill, then chances are good that you’ve made a few recipes with tortillas. Whether it’s quesadillas or smash burger tacos or copycat Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supremes, it seems like tortillas are a popular ingredient for griddle cooking. Probably because they’re large and thin, and you can make a bunch at one time.

So we decided to take two of our favorites – pizza and crunch wraps – and combine them into one amazing griddle recipe!

These pizza tortilla crunch wraps are very similar to our pizza quesadillas that we made a while back on the flat top grill, except by using two tortillas and folding them up like a crunch wrap, you can really stuff them full of pizza goodness!

Here’s how to make these easy tortilla pizza wraps on the flat top grill (or inside in a skillet):

What You Need for Pizza Tortilla Wraps

There are a few basic ingredients that you need to make crunch wrap style pizza tortilla wraps – the tortillas, marinara sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Beyond that, the other ingredients that you add are up to you. Here are some ingredient notes and substitutions:

• tortillas – To make a crunch wrap stuffed with your favorite pizza ingredients, you’ll need two different tortillas – one large burrito sized and one small street taco size. We prefer to use the La Banderita brand low carb tortillas.
• marinara sauce – Just use your favorite store-bought brand… We like the Rao’s Marinara.
• mozzarella cheese – Some recipes are better with freshly grated cheese, but the packaged pre-shredded variety works for these pizza wraps!
• parmesan cheese (optional) – We made cheese crisps on the griddle for the “crunch” factor in the crunchwraps, but that’s totally optional! These pizza tortilla wraps would be awesome without that also.
• pepperoni – Or substitute cooked Italian sausage crumbles, chopped cooked bacon, or other pizza meats.
• other pizza toppings – We used green peppers, onions, sliced mushrooms, banana peppers, and black olives for a supreme pizza tortilla wrap.
• butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning – This makes an awesome garlic butter to brush on the outside of the tortilla wraps!

How to Make Pizza Tortilla Wraps on the Griddle

We love cooking these pizza wraps on the griddle, because you can cook more than one at a time. But, you can also make this easy tortilla pizza recipe inside in a skillet as well. Here’s how to make these awesome pizza tortilla wraps:

Prep the Marinara and Garlic Butter

To start you’ll need two small saucepans – one to heat the marinara sauce and one to make a simple garlic butter. For the first pan, simply pour in about 1 cup (depending on how many pizza wraps you’re making) of your favorite store-bought marinara sauce into the pan to begin heating.

The second saucepan is to make the garlic butter that gets brushed on the outside of the tortilla. Just add about half a stick of butter, 3 cloves of minced garlic, about a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and a dash of red pepper flakes, like this:

Stir the marinara sauce and the garlic butter as they heat. When the butter becomes frothy and the marinara is heated through, go ahead and remove the pans from the griddle (or the stovetop).

*NOTE – You can also reduce your jarred marinara sauce if you would like it to be thicker, more like a pizza sauce. Simply continue to cook the sauce over low heat to allow some of the moisture to escape. Stir occasionally as the sauce is reducing, and cook on low until it reaches your desired consistency.

Make the Cheese Crisps

This step is totally optional, but if you’re going to make a “Crunchwrap” then you need something to serve as the “crunch” element in the wrap. Most crunch wrap recipes have a crispy tostada in the middle to give them that crunch, but since we were making an Italian pizza version, I decided to make some cheese crisps on the griddle.

Simply add about 1/2 cup of either shredded parmesan cheese or shredded mozzarella cheese to the griddle surface and spread it out into a thin, even layer like this:

I used my street taco sized flour tortilla as a guide to know how large to make my cheese crisps.

Then, just allow the cheese to cook untouched on the first side until it turns golden brown and has melted together. Flip the cheese crisps to the second side, just like you would flip a pancake. Cook on the second side until crispy and golden brown. Then, transfer the cheese crisps to a wire rack to cool.

*NOTE – Different cheeses will react differently on the griddle. Mozzarella cheese tends to brown more quickly than parmesan, so keep that in mind.

Saute the Vegetables for Your Pizza Tortilla Wraps

While the cheese crisps are cooling, prep your other ingredients. If you’re using vegetables like onion or bell pepper, you’ll want to cook those before adding them to the pizza tortilla wrap. Just sauté your vegetables on the griddle until they’re done to your liking. I personally prefer my veggies to be more of a “tender crisp” instead of soft and caramelized.

I also used this time to heat up my pepperonis on the griddle. Remember, the ingredients that you put inside your pizza tortilla wraps won’t have a chance to cook or heat up that much. Instead, you’re really just toasting the outside of the wrap.

Assemble the Pizza Crunch Wraps

These pizza crunch wraps are assembled just like a regular copycat Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme. Just layer on your wrap ingredients, fold the tortilla, and toast it on the griddle.
